TASTING NOTES
The 2016 harvest was certainly one of the longest in terms of duration in recent years. Below average temperatures and abundant rains delayed the vegetative phase and generated a good water reserve. Summer was not particularly fall, and the grapes ripened slowly and completely. Furthermore, the hailstorms of late summer did not hit the area of La Morra, leaving a very healthy Nebbiolo to harvest at the end of October. Aromas of berries, cedar and undergrowth guide the nose. In the mouth it is juicy, rich in morello cherry, star anise and toasted hazelnut together with fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Drink from 2023 to 2033.

Tenuta L’Illuminata is the first of Guido Folonari's wineries, heir to a historic Italian family that has always been in the world of wine. It is located in Piedmont, in La Morra, in the Langhe area. The 10 hectares of vineyards, located at an average altitude of 250 meters with south-west exposure, are characterized by soils of different origins. The company expresses best Piedmontese viticulture through the production of Barolo DOCG, Barbera d’Alba DOC, Langhe Nebbiolo DOC and Dolcetto d’Alba DOC. The Tenuta L’Illuminata cellar has been completely renovated and equipped with all the latest technologies. The aging in wood takes place in French oak barriques and in 25 hl Slavonian oak barrels. The barrel room is a very suggestive and important ambience, a place where the wine rests until reaches the right time to be bottled.
